- Synopsis:
- In Alabama, 1944, 24-year-old black mother and sharecropper Recy Taylor was raped by six white young men. Common in the Jim Crow South, very few women ever spoke up about these things in fear for their lives. But Recy Taylor did. She bravely identified her rapists and the NAACP sent their chief investigator, Rosa Parks, who rallied support. It triggered an unprecedented outcry for justice. 'The Rape of Recy Taylor' exposes a legacy of abuse of black women. It reveals Rosa Parks' own story, her similar experiences, her role in Recy Taylor's story and her ongoing work to find justice for countless women like Recy. The 1955 bus boycott was an end result, not a beginning.

Too Long and no Subtitles - The Rape of Recy Taylor review by CP Customer
i often put the subtitles on for American movies as some of the accents are difficult to understand. No subtitles on this film.
It was far too long. Very sad tale but could have been half an hour shorter.
